A head-on collision in Nottinghamshire, in which six people were killed, has been described as a "tragedy waiting to happen".

Four people, in their late teens and early 20s, died when their Peugeot 206 collided with a Ford Fiesta carrying a couple in their 60s. The accident took place on the A614 Old Rufford road, near Bilsthorpe, which has been described as "very dangerous".

Local resident Janice Gilbody said she had witnessed many "near misses" on the road: "It's very dangerous with the speed and dips," she said. "It's a wonder it doesn't happen more often. It's a tragedy waiting to happen."
